Nextpower Lauches New Solar Tracking System

Nextpower announced the global launch of its reimagined NX Gemini two-in-portrait (2P) solar tracker system. The launch is part of a broader expansion of Nextpower’s solar solutions portfolio in Europe, which includes NX Anchor, an integrated foundation system co-engineered for the company’s flagship NX Horizon 1P tracker.

As Europe and other global markets accelerate toward ambitious renewable energy goals, Nextpower said that developers and engineering, procurement, and construction firms are navigating evolving permitting frameworks, land-use priorities, site suitability requirements, agrivoltaics (agriPV) applications, and long-term performance needs. Nextpower is expanding its platform to help support this next phase of solar development in Europe with high-density tracker systems, integrated foundations, and intelligent controls that address increasingly site-specific project needs.

“European solar projects are becoming more specialized, and customers need more flexibility in how projects are designed and built,” said Yves Figuerola, general manager of Nextpower Europe. “We are excited to bring our foundation solutions and a differentiated 2P tracker system to our customers in Europe where site and soil conditions can be challenging. These offerings are designed to provide a comprehensive solution set with more flexibility to help improve efficiency and reduce construction risk, while bringing Nextpower’s proven controls and software platform to more project configurations.”

With over 160 GW deployed globally and a growing European footprint, Nextpower said that it continues to invest in integrated solutions and broaden its product portfolio to streamline project execution and expand sites where solar can be built and operated reliably at scale. Building on five years of operational experience with 2P tracker technology, the reimagined NX Gemini system is designed to deliver improved performance, constructability, and cost effectiveness for customers. The system incorporates advancements in Nextpower’s proven tracker controls and software architecture, enabling row-level control, network communications, weather response, and centralized site intelligence.

Engineered for Europe’s variable geotechnical conditions, the NX Anchor foundation system offers multiple pile types for soft, expansive, frost-prone, medium, and mixed soils. All piles can be installed with readily available standard equipment. Co-engineered for installation with Nextpower’s NX Horizon 1P tracker, the integrated foundation supports higher tracker clearances, with up to 70% less embedment depth than standard H-piles and enables up to 20% faster installation.

“NX Anchor reflects Nextpower’s approach to system-level innovation,” said Figuerola. “With NX Anchor, developers and EPCs can build NX Horizon trackers with greater confidence in variable soil conditions across Europe while accelerating installation and reducing rework.”

Nextpower will extend existing control and software-enabled capabilities to its NX Gemini 2P tracking system. These capabilities include TrueCapture advanced tracker control technology to maximize energy production and agriPV-specific operating modes available through the NX Navigator monitoring and control software. Nextpower’s advancements in agriPV tracker controls are part of a comprehensive agriPV solutions portfolio, recently showcased in Rimini, Italy.
